Add support for LoRaWAN profiles on FAP-222KL 7.6.5
|
|
This information is also available in the FortiWiFi and FortiAP 7.6 Configuration Guide: |
This release adds support for LoRaWAN profiles to FortiOS, enabling supported FortiAP models such as FAP-222KL to act as a LoRaWAN gateway. Supported APs can receive LoRaWAN sensor data and securely forward it to supported network servers, enabling the AP to operate as both a Wi-Fi and LoRaWAN gateway.
The following CLI commands have been added to configure LoRaWAN profiles:
config wireless-controller lw-profile
edit <name>
set comment {string}
set lw-protocol [basics-station | packet-forwarder]
set cups-server {string}
set cups-server-port {integer}
set cups-api-key {password}
set tc-server {string}
set tc-server-port {integer}
set tc-api-key {password}
next
end

Specify the LoRaWAN gateway protocol used by the FortiAP (default is
|
|
|
Define the Configuration and Update Server (CUPS) address used by the FortiAP to obtain configuration, certificates, and firmware updates. IPv4, IPv6, and FQDN formats are accepted. |
|
|
Specify the TCP port used by the FortiAP to connect to the CUPS server (0 to 65535). |
|
|
Authentication key used by the FortiAP to securely register and authenticate with the CUPS server. |
|
|
Define the Traffic Controller/LoRaWAN Network Server (LNS) address used for sending and receiving LoRaWAN data traffic. IPv4, IPv6, and FQDN formats are accepted. |
|
|
Specify the port used by the FortiAP to connect to the TC/LNS for LoRaWAN data communication (0 to 65535). |

Authentication key used by the FortiAP to securely connect to the TC/LNS for LoRaWAN traffic exchange. |
To configure a LoRaWAN profile:
-
From the FortiOS CLI, configure the LoRaWAN profile:
config wireless-controller lw-profile edit "thingpark" set cups-server "community.thingpark.io" set cups-server-port 443 next end -
Assign the LoRaWAN profile to a supported FortiAP profile:
config wireless-controller wtp-profile edit "FAP222KL-default" set lw-profile "thingpark" next end -
From the FortiAP CLI, verify that the configurations have been successfully pushed to the FortiAP device:
FortiAP-222KL # cw_diag -c lw-config WTP LoRaWAN Configuration: EUI 1 : 0016c001f10de099 EUI 2 : 0016c001f10d1cba CUPS Server : community.thingpark.io CUPS Port : 443 TC Server : TC Port : 0
